Dillon Brooks has been a very valuable role player for the Houston Rockets over the previous two seasons.

He helped the team finish the 2024-25 season as the second seed in the Western Conference with a 52-30 record.

Brooks was recently traded to the Phoenix Suns (in the blockbuster deal for Kevin Durant).

Via Suns.com (on July 6): "PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns announced today that the team has acquired forward Dillon Brooks and guard Jalen Green, and the draft rights to center Khaman Maluach, the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, forward Rasheer Fleming, the 31st overall pick, and guard Koby Brea, the 41st overall pick, and a 2026 second-round pick, as part of a seven-team deal that sends forward Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets."
